FORTY AGENCIES ON CONTINENT
(United Frees Association—By Electrie Telegraph—Copyright.)
(Received this day at 10.24 p.m.) LONDON, December 22
The “Daily Telegraph’s” Pai'i s correspondent says : It is believed that the spy organisation has at least forty agencies in various parts of Europe. : Supreme control is exercised by nOma. dic headquarters moving from capital to capital, as the risks of dictated information i s not monopolised by any single power, but, is distributed among different clients, including Germany and Russia.
The strangest figure in the drama is
Lydia 'Stahl, who was born in Russia. She is at home in ten languages, and
thus became associated with M. Martin, the interpreter who is credited with speaking sixty-eight languages and dialects.
His erudition bought him in contact with Stahl who persuaded Martin to tamper with the documents of naval history.
